Jam (Live At Fillmore West March 2, 1969) - Grateful Dead

Don't take this the wrong way You knew who I was every step that I ran to you Only blue or black days Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose Would things be easier if there was a right way? Honey, there is no right way And so I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new There's an art to life's distractions Somehow escapes the burning weight The art of scraping through Some like to imagine The dark caress of someone else I guess any thrill will do Would things be easier if there was a right way? Honey, there is no right way And so I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I wake at the first cringe of morning And my heart's already sinned How pure, how sweet a love Aretha, that you would pray for him Cos God knows I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little, oh, little bit every day Love with every stranger, the stranger the better Love with every stranger, the stranger the better Love with every stranger, the stranger the better Love with every stranger, the stranger the better I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new I fall in love just a little Oh, little bit every day with someone new

Grateful Dead Anthem of the Sun Alligator Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun, Lyin' by the river just like he usually done. Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea, Call all he want to, but he can't call for me. Oh no! I've been there before, And I ain't gonna come around here any more. Creepy alligator coming all around the bend, Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends, I checked my memory and I checked it quick, yes I will. I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick. Oh no! Well I've been there before, And I ain't gonna come around here any more. Sailin' down the river in an old canoe, A bunch of and an old tennis shoe. Out of the river all ugly and green, Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen! Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out, Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout. Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops, He never runs he just stumbles and hops. Just out of prison on ten dollars bail, Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail.

The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded, Solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die." All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin', Every leaf was turnin'; to watch him die, you know he had to die. The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him, And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter. And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended, His mind remained unbended, he had to die, you know he had to die. Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this rose. It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes. It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away. But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day. Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around, Comin', around, in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle, Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle. Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space, It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place. The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began, There was cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land. Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around, Comin', around, in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle, Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle. And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended, Their minds remained unbended, He had to die, Oh, you know he had to die.

When I was just a little young boy Papa said, "Son, you'll never get far" I'll tell you the reason, if you wanna know 'Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go Well, baby baby wants a gold diamond ring Wants it more than most any old thing Well when I get those jelly-roll blues Why I go and get anything in this world for you? And down to the jewelry store packin' a gun Says, "Wrap it up I think I'll take this one" "A thousand dollars please", the jewelry man said Dupree said, "I'll pay this one off to you in lead" Well you know son, you just can't figure First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad Jelly-roll will drive you so mad Judge said, "Son, it's gonna cost you some time" Dupree said, "Judge you know that crossed my mind" Judge said, "Fact it's gonna cost you your life" Dupree said, "Judge you know that seems to me to be about right" Well, baby baby's gonna lose her sweet man Dupree come out with a losin' hand Baby's gonna weep it up for a while Then go out and find another sweet man's gonna treat her with style Judge said, "Son, I know your baby well But that's a secret that I can never tell" Dupree said, "Judge, well it's well understood And you got to admit that, that sweet Jelly's so good" Well you know son, you just can't figure First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad Jelly roll will drive you so mad Same old story and I know it's been told Some like Jelly Jelly, some like gold Many a man's done a terrible thing Just to get, baby a shinin' diamond ring

She came without a farthing A babe without a name So much ado about nothing Is what she'd try to say So much ado, my lover So many games we played Through every fleeted Summer Through every precious day All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone, I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead and gone All dead All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still, I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again You know my little friend's All dead and gone Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But, please, you must forgive me I am old but still a child All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope, I breathe Of course, I don't believe You're dead and gone All dead and gone
